The New Year Resolutions Web Log

Dissapointed

So I'm pretty dissappointed in myself after this week. About the only thing that I kept true to was the not drinking. I did nothing physical other than Basketball on Monday, I did nothing academic because I didn't need to, I spent a lot of money because it was one of those weeks. Yea, I pretty much failed on my resolutions this week...

Hopefully this week will be better...

Good Stuff

Sorry that I haven't updated you all lately, I've been extremely busy lately with school and work. Here's what's been going on in my resolutions life...

Alcohol: Still haven't been drunk since school started. I was a bit tipsy one evening, but wasn't drunk.

Physical Activity: Each week, Chris and I have gone climbing at least twice, and I've played some hardcore basketball at least twice. That's four days out of the seven that I've done something physical. In addition to that, each shift I work (minus the graveyard), I walk all over campus.

Save More This one has been slacking a bit lately. Since my roomates and I are having less and less time, it's harder and harder to cook and save money. Nonetheless, I still have a pretty considerable balance in my savings account.

Study More My grades this semester are AWESOME so far! I've got at least a 3.9. I've recieved nothing but As with the exception of one B+. Things are starting to look good, but the busiest part of the semester is coming up. If I had to guess, that 3.9 will slide a bit, maybe down to a 3.7 by the end of the first eight weeks.

That's all for now, I will try to keep posting at least once a week from this point forward.

Day whatever day it is.

Just to update everyone. I haven't spent over $100 yet this year (well besides my rent, which was $340). I'm quite happy with that. I've been eating the food I find in the house and such.

I'm going to go on a jog sometime today (Monday). Probably when I get off work and want to bear the elements for a while. Its quite cold, but that's not going to stop me. I'll just throw a sweatshirt on and head. Before I go, I'm going to do a couple series on my kampus board.

Haven't had a drop of alcohol this year, yay for that!

That's all really.

peace

The Resolutions

Since the purpose of this web log is to chronicle my progress toward meeting my New Year's Resolutions, I should list what they are.

1. No more getting drunk from drinking. After seeing what happened to Tony and Ryan last night from drinking, I'm done. No more.


2. More studying. This should help me achieve my goal of a 4.0 this semester. I am going to get all my homework done and finish all my studying before any fun stuff each and every evening.


3. More physical activity. This is doable. For most people, it's not. I will be more physically active. I plan to do this in the mornings, and a couple nights a week when I climb. No more late nights, no more sleeping in. I'm not going to be a slacker anymore.


4. Save more. I have spent, spent, and spent some more this last year. Those days are over as well. I will save money, that's all there is to say about that.

Well, there they are.

Tony and I vowed last night that we won't be drinking to get drunk the rest of the semester. That's a good start for me since a semester is a third of a year. If I can make it that far, I can make it an entire year. The physical thing, I am going to start tomorrow with a nice afternoon jog, saving starts today since the only payment that I need to make is rent, studying won't start until school starts back up.

That's all, expect more later.
peace
